Cloaked in intrigue, Shirley Paden’s bell-sleeved beauty is worked ina lace and wrap-stitch pattern in AslanTrends’ “Invernal.” The deep cowl, which drapes flatteringly across the shoulders, is knit separately and sewn to the ribbed boat neck in finishing.

This lacy stole was designed by Rosemary Drysdale using Tilli Tomas’s Rock Star, a spun silk yarn with glass beads woven into it. The luxurious fringe at the ends is worked with Pure & Simple, the same spun-silk yarn without the beads. The easy 8-row lace pattern stitch works up quickly for a glamorous evening wrap or a fabulous gift. Featured in Vogue Knitting Holiday 2008.

Designed by Deborah Newton and knit in Blue Sky Alpacas’ Worsted Hand Dyes, this bag features an I-cord strap that is knitted first, then woven through decorative chains and attached for the handles. A cabled strip is made separately and forms the gusset at the sides and lower edge. The textured front and back pieces are picked up along the two edges at the bottom and sewn to the side gussets. A zipper can be sewn to the knitted facings at the top of the bag. Featured in Vogue Knitting Holiday 2008.
